Document Details : Title: ‘With many other words’ (Acts 2,40) Subtitle: Theological Assumptions in Peter’s Pentecost Speech Author(s): KILGALLEN, John J. Journal: Biblica Volume: 83 Issue: 1 Date: 2002 Pages: 71-87 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.83.1.3200294 Abstract : The complete effectiveness of Peter’s Pentecost speech implies that the Lucan audience, if not that of Peter, knows at least three assumptions that are needed to make the speech as logically convincing as possible. These three assumptions are: (1) that Jesus is physically Son of David; (2) that the kyrios of Ps 110,1 is the Messiah; (3) that only the titles ‘Son’ and ‘Father’ should be used when describing that it is Jesus who poured out the Spirit. As for Peter’s audience, the fact that Peter supported his speech with ‘many other words (arguments)’ might argue that his audience were introduced to these three assumptions. As for Luke’s audience, Luke 1,35 and its context play a major role in justifying the logic of this Pentecost speech. |
